Abstract

Use of marginal land use, such as Ultisol is an alternative for the extensification of soybean production. The problem of Ultisol is the low organic matter content, so fertilization is required using organic fertilizer such as compost. This study was designed to determine the effect of the compost source and its dosage on the growth and yield of Edamame soybean. The study was carried out in Pematang Gubernur Village, Muara Bangkahulu District, Bengkulu City, from February to June 2020 in Ultisol. The experiment was arranged using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), with three replications. The first factor was the source of compost consisting of Wedelia (Wedelia trilobata L.), Siam weed (Chromolaena odorata L.), and Calopo (Calopogonium mucunoides). The second factor was the dosage, consist of 5, 10, and 15 tons ha-1 of the compost. No fertilization for control. There was no significant difference between Wedelia, Siam weed, and Calopo compost on the growth and yield of Edamame soybean. However, compost dosage resulted in significant differences in stem diameter, number of leaves, number of productive branches, and root dry weight. The dose of compost affects soybean growth, including stem diameter, number of leaves, number of productive branches, and dry root weight. Each increase in the compost dosage unit can increase 0.0707 mm stem diameter, 0.0896 leaves, 0.097 productive branches, and 0.1126 g dry root weight.
